Had an excellent few days at the outrigger, from arrival we were very happy, the staff were welcoming & always willing to help, got complimentary late check out although it was only for an extra hour till 11. The room itself was spacious, comfortable beds & furniture and a clean bathroom, it seemed to be recently refurbished. I did find a problem with the bad water pressure & shower head which sprayed in every direction, & also that there seemed to be a lot of noise, given it was a Saturday night, we could clearly hear the doors banging & people yelling from the street, but it was not an issue on Sunday night.The location is fantastic, short walk from all main attractions, as well as tram station & bus stops. Managed to get a good deal from wotif, offered free upgrade to an ocean view room which I couldn't find anywhere else. Ended up on the 17th floor, although it would've been nice to be in a south facing room overlooking the city, still had amazing views & was fun watching the slingshot & vomitron just across the street.

A friend and myself stayed for 1 night a few weeks ago. From our brief stay we rather liked the Outrigger. The staff were helpful, even letting us check in early, the room service was very nice. The only disappointing moment was when housekeeping arrived at our room at 9 a.m. when checkout was at 10 a.m. They waited outside our door urging us to leave earlier then we had planned. The Outrigger was worth the price we paid, there were a few parties in the rooms around us but we expected as much from the Gold Coast on a Saturday night.

Room Tip: The North facing rooms had quite a view

We stayed at the Outrigger Surfers Paradise hotel for 3 nights and had a very good experience! The reception is open 24 hours so when we arrived at 2am, there was no hassle checking in. The hotel is in the middle of Surfers Paradise, so you can literally walk to anywhere.Sheets, bathroom, and the room in general was clean. Beds are comfortable. Our room was bigger than I expected. It had a balcony with a breakfast table and a view of the ocean.The staff were friendly and always smiling.

Room Tip: ask for a room with a view of the ocean

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. This is a fantastic place to stay. The room was really spacious and I loved the walk in dressing room we kept all the luggage in there and the room stayed tidy and organised.

Room Tip: We chose a room with two televisions so the kids could relax away from us in the evenings.

We stayed for 1 night in July 2014, the last Saturday of the school holidays and had booked last minute so was expecting it to be busy. We were in one of the older rooms, which had not been refurbished and it showed. The bathroom was poorly designed and when you had a shower most of the bathroom floor got soaked and was quite slippy, there was also no bath. We only paid $155 for the night so not expecting the Ritz.

We traveled with kids and ended up next to a room full of lads who were there for a night out on the town and as a result very little sleep was had, however the hotel security did ask them to be quite at 4:30am, after 30 minutes of excessive noise, they did quieten down, but the room was interconnecting so the noise buffering was not great and we were still kept awake. You would think that they could have a booking system where families were all located on 1 floor and singles, etc are on a separate floor.

The front office staff were fantastic and very friendly and the service excellent. The location was good, very handy for the theme parks.

Dear Mena,Thank you for your comments regarding your recent stay at the Outrigger Surfers Paradise, and I am sorry that you experienced noise problems with the room next door to yours. Unfortunately it is difficult to know which guests may be noisy. We do occasionally also receive comments from other Guests when we have families with kids next door, so it is a situation which we try to manage. However I understand your concern, and should you choose to stay with us again please let me or reservations know that you would like to ensure a quiet room and we will do our very best to accommodate you to make sure that you have a peaceful stay. I would also like to thank you for your positive comments on our front office staff and our service, they are much appreciated , and I will share them with the staff.Again my apologies.Kind Regards

This is the 3rd time we have stay at the Outrigger - this time we stayed for 4 nights to celebrate my husbands birthday and have some winter sun. The reason why we come back is that the hotel is in a great location, the rooms are always clean, beds comfy and rooms have great views over the ocean.This time around we were a little disappointed to find out on arrival that the hotel was undergoing major air conditioning change over and that we would have limited fan/heat (no cooling) operating for the entire duration of our stay - I had booked directly with the hotel (in advance) and nothing was said at the time of my booking. We had a few times where there was no air at all (fan/heat or cool) and then a capacitor in our room unit blew up, which put an electrical burning smell through our room. Luckily the air con contractors were on site at the time. Another disappointment was the lighting in the rooms - I know some people might like 'mood' lighting, but our loungeroom area only had a small floor lamp and even smaller table lamp which made it almost impossible to read or see anything at night. We were given another floor lamp to increase the lightning - slightly - but it was still quiet dull at night. Perhaps the hotel could add some wall lights into their rooms to increase the lighthing for those of us who like it a bit brighter.On the positive side, the hotel management (Katie) and staff were very accommodating and did attend to our issues quite quickly. We were given free breakfast on one day and late checkout.Although this hotel is a favourite for us, we may rethink staying at the Outrigger next time we visit Surfers.

This isn't the best hotel in surfers but for $130-$150 a night it's a good deal for the price. I've stayed here twice now - the first time on new years eve & the second last weekend and will stay again when on a budget. The rooms are spacious enough, the beds comfortable & the hotel is in a good location. Haven't eaten at the restaurant but just around the corner the Clock Hotel has really good pub food at good prices.
